Describe what you anticipate being your strongest teaching assets and abilities.
I feel as though my strongest teaching assets and abilities were going to be confident in front of people
and always having myself fully prepared. These things were both huge assets when I began on
Wednesday but I also found that being able to bend and move things is also extremely important
because so far in the three days the things I have planned have taken longer then I would have
expected them to. I always feared being in front of the class with nothing left to do but so far that
hasn't even come close to happening so I am pretty happy so far.
Describe what you anticipate being the teaching assets and abilities you will need to
work hardest to improve.
The thing that I will definitely need to improve on is making sure that I tell the students explicitly what
I want from them and what they will be doing. I find as the day goes on my instructions to the
students get more and more constructive and concise. This helps not only them but also myself
so that I don't have to repeat myself a bunch. I am still working on clearly explaining things and
making sure the students know exactly what it is I am talking about. Other than that I really love it
so far!
